Biomaterials have been used for artificial-organ and bioreactor
materials, and have gained importance for enhancement of human
welfare. This book summarizes research devoted to creating useful
biofunctional materials by chemical modification of natural
polymers, and forecasts future development.
This book is a collection of the addresses of the keynote speakers
and invited lecturers as well as manuscripts of a few outstanding
papers which were delivered at the First Pacific Polymer Conference
organized by the Pacific Polymer Federation in Maui, Hawaii, 12-15
December, 1989. The First Pacific Polymer Conference covered a wide
variety of topics in macromolecular science, demonstrating the
emphasis given to polymer research in the Pacific Rim countries.
The keynote speakers and invited lecturers are excellent scientists
and leaders of effort who covered their fields expertly and in many
cases gave their own perspective on the future of polymer science
and engineering. A panel discussion on the role of polymers in the
arts interested the attendees and emphasized the pervasiveness of
polymers in all facets of life. The meeting was attended by over
500 scientists from all over the world. The participants left the
meeting with renewed feeling for the importance of polymers in the
material sciences and impressed by the progress in polymer research
and development. This book, therefore, provides a wide -angle
snapshot of the polymer research as we enter the 1990's. It is a
useful book for all scientists interested in polymers and the
progress of our science in the countries of the Pacific Rim. We
hope that many attendees were stimulated by the meeting and that
new ideas and new collaborations will result which will further
enrich research, and lead to new useful polymers for all countries.
